DTV's get a bum rap in many ways, and perhaps it's well deserved (very well IMO.) However, there may be some who have enjoyed some of them.
For me all of the Batman animated movies have been great (Sub-Zero being my least favorite but oh well.)
and on the Disney side I actually enjoyed Return of Jafar (the only Disney sequals I can stand.)
So how about you?

Let's see...
- the various Batman DTV movies
- TTA's "How I Spent My Vacation"
- Disney's only halfway decent ones, "the Return of Jafar" and "Lion King II: Simba's Pride" (both made pre-current-rush-of-cruddy-sequels obsession of Disney's)

By far, BB: ROTJ uncut. My friend got it right before Scour went down and it absolutely blew me away.
Lion King II: Simba's Pride wasn't bad either, but then again I'm a Jason Marsden fan.

I liked....
Return Of Jafar
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas
Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True (It was watchable, I'd never buy it on DVD or anything but it was alright for my staurday afternoon when it was raining and I was putting off course work).
Thats about it.

TTA: How I Spent My Vacation was the only DTV animated production I really enjoyed ( The Batman ones were pretty high quality but I'm not really much of a comic book fan ).
Worst DTV sequel is 'Secret of Nimh 2', which is awful beyond belief and does nothing but spit on the memory of the classic original.

No Avran, "A Goofy Movie" actually went to theatres. I don't think too many saw it, but I personally loved the movie.
Anyway, here are the DTVs that I own AND enjoy:
-Batman: Sub-Zero
-Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
OK...that's about it. Of all the Disney ones, I didn't mind ALADDIN AND THE KING OF THIEVES (Part 3) so much, but thought RETURN OF JAFAR was lame. All the other Disney DTVs have been mediocre at best.
I've heard good things about the Scooby Doo DTVs...and those dang THE LAND BEFORE TIME DTVs must have something good going for them...there's like 12 of them now! :p

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
And Disney's Lion King II wasn't too bad either.

That's easy:
The Scooby DTV's espally Zombie Island and Wtich's Ghost, the darker of the four.

I enjoyed....
Lion King 2-It was cute and I thought the bad guy was interesting. The only thing that truly annoyed me was Timon and Pumbaa. I adore these characters but they had the cheesiest lines... :rolleyes:
Aladdin and the Kind Of Theives-It was well done and it seemed planned out and it ended the whole series for good.
and..I guess Return Of Jafar...I just HATED the voice of the Genie. Nothing can replace Robin Williams NOTHING!! But the idea of Iago joining Aladdin's group was an intresting twist so thats why its on the list. :)
Wakkos Wish-fun songs, fun story, happy ending and hey! Its the Warners!!
:yakko: :wakko: :dot:

Batman: Subzero
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Lion King 2: Simba's Pride
Aladdin: King of Thieves
Return Of Jafar
Aladdin And The King Of Thieves
Beauty And The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (A VERY GOOD DTV)
TTA: How I spent My Summer Vacation
An Extremely Goofy Movie (If any DTV deserved to go to theatres, it was this)
The Batman movies
The new Scooby Doo movies
Mickey Mouse: Once Upon A Christmas
And to be honest thats about IT. :P
I'd been debating on picking up the House Of Mouse/House Of Villians DTV since I rather liked the show when it was on the air, but I've heard virtually no feedback on it all which means its either good and nobody lamented over it, or it was so bad that word got out an nobody bought it. With Disney's track record on DTV's its not like there's much room for error... =\
I liked The Lion King II,the songs were really good,I like Kovu,and the animation wasn't too bad for a DTV.....
The Aladdin sequels were OK,too....I didn't really mind the new Genie(Dan Castellaneta,the voice of Homer Simpson)....
